The family-friendly Friday Night Concerts in the Park is the largest and longest running event of its kind; this summer celebrates their 20th anniversary season. The event celebrates live, local music and features live performances by many local bands. Enjoy Friday nights filled with music, friends, cold beer, warm breezes, and fading sunlight. Food vendors will be selling yummy eats and drinks, and adult beverages will be available in the beer garden.
In conjunction with the concerts, catch the Locally Grown, Internationally Known walking tour about the history of Sacramento's music scene.

Challenges consist of snapping pictures, answering trivia questions, and social check-ins by bumping phones with friends. Challenges will rotate each week throughout the concert series giving players more chances to win.
